can i cut the pole to make the tv closer to the ceiling?

We had to cut the pole so it was closer to the ceiling. Our TV is hung above a fireplace and the ceiling it extends through is at the corner of a vaulted room.

You can but you would have to cut both as there are two that slide into each other.

From just looking at the picture of this product/mount it could easily be done but you would have to drill new holes in the shortened pipe to run the bolts through for mounting on either end. It might be simpler to just go to an auto muffler shop that does custom exhaust systems and have them make you a shortened pipe to use, bring the pipe that is too long with you so they can match up the pipe size and you would also have to paint it to match later. Not really a hard thing to do when you think about it but I love working with metals and such. Any metal fabrication business could also do the work quite cheaply I would think.

I suppose you can put it as far away as the wire will support. It does need to be plugged into the TV.

I believe so. That was my intention when I hung it through a hole in the ceiling and wanted to put the wires running through the attic. My electrician didn't want to do that so I ended up having to do it myself just through the walls. Also, if you're using a cable box, the box has to be within sight so those wires from the screen to the box wouldn't be hidden anyway.

Yes, you would have to unbolt the extension poles, meaning you'd have to have someone support the weight of the TV.

Not specifically, no. It is possible to run cables down the center of the pole from the ceiling, but I ended up using black cable ties to just hide them in the back. This mount worked out great for me in my patio, for the record. It was a breeze to install and it just so happened to fit the television mount I already had on my tv.

You shouldn't have to cut it. The baffle is made of metal. You will receive a coupling that should fit the pole. Then the baffle comes apart and you'll fit it above the coupling. Sounds complicated but if I could do it anyone can.

Sorry but you can't. This pole is worthless to use with a camera on the top-side. Mine did the same thing and now it is the trash. Try to get your money back while you still can. Absolute junk!

I hung mine a foot away from wall and hung two tv's side by side to watch two seperate programs or watch a panoramic view I was very happy results but I did cut off like four inches of pipe so it could be closer to the ceiling

I'm sure you can, but you only have about 2-3 inches you can shorten it by. I actually had a similar fan that I cut the rod down.

Yes you can, and if you desired you could pull the TV away from the wall and aim it left or right. it's a great mount, very sturdy.

Yes, there is no other way to do it. Hopefully your ceiling is not higher than 8 feet.

yes, you can tuck the wire in the wall to shorten it to the length you want.

No. The pole can damage any textured ceiling. Can remove light fixture and assemble it against solid beam overhead.

Hi Albert. Technically you can do this - the bolts in the pole would hold the TV up the same way they would down, the tilt adjustment is symmetrical so you can adjust up or down. My only warning is that on a ceiling, there is much less of an opportunity to bump the mount with any serious force. On the ground/floor you could lean on it, fall back on it, or any number of other similar circumstances and the torque from a heavy hit would bend or break this mount pretty easily - its not heavy duty by any means. Hope that helps, let me know if I can provide any other info. Cheers!

Sure- That's what I did. However, you may have to use a tin snips to make an exit hole in the base (for the cord) if you want to flush mount it to the ceiling.

Yes. You will most likely need to make a hole in the ceiling. I drive a screw into the ceiling, then tied a string to the net and the screw.

Yes. A sharp carpet knife will work for cutting the cord cover to fit the space.
